1) Foil pesky flies

Spraying a bit of hairspray on an annoying fly will gum its wings and in essence, "shoo" it away.

2) Flower preserver

Spritzing a dried flower will keep it intact just a tad longer.

3) DIY gift wrap

Perfect for when you forget wrapping paper. Take some regular paper and spray hairspray on it for a shiny finish.

4) Self-defense spray

A perfect substitute for mace.

5) Lint lifter

A couple sprays turns a smooth cloth into a temp lint remover.

6) Strengthen stockings

The threads will be strengthened by the lacquer in the spray.

7) Static fighter

The water and alcohol calms annoying static in clothes.
